I sort of agree, but we are assuming Sao and Tevita will cut the mustard playing week in, week out in super league, they are in effect replacing Mickey P and Greeny, partnering Tag and Bowden. And as far as I know, regardless of all the expectations, they are not proven yet, don’t mean to be negative, just realistic.

I like Massi and the prospect Jack Brown, but another quality prop along the lines of Amor or Ikihifo, or the French lad at Wigan, who I presume will be surplus to requirements when Burgess arrives, would allow us more room to manoeuvre, if and when injuries strike.

I don't think Navarette is fit to lace Bowden's boots, and although Amor's ok - he's only average. I agree with you about Sao and Satae, the odds are that one of them will flourish, and one will disappoint. I personally much prefer younger fringe NRL players to veteran first teamers though.

I meant as back up, no probs with Josh.

Back up should be the likes of Masi and Brown, it's a salary cap sport, that's what Leeds and Saints do, look at the Wigan youngsters who have been given a chance recently.

I agree if they are good enough, the point was regarding an opinion we are a quality prop short, which we are.

Too hard to say, if Bowden gets his form back and Sao looks as good as he has from the few games I've seen him, then Taylor, Bowden, Sao and Satae are good enough for a team wanting to challenge IMO. All if and buts I know.


Good to see the club close to appointing two new coaches, if these are the right people these could be our best signing for next season.

where have you read that?

I hope you are right Dave, we want the best for our side.

You may be right about the coaching changes, new innovation in our style is required, it won’t be easy, but with more bite in our pack, and options in the backs, Radders has to deliver again.

So long as they are decent quality coaches and not done on the cheap. Good to see our strength and conditioning coach has moved on as we looked pretty unfit last year imo

I’ll be surprised if either are of any proven quality. Having to bring in an attack and defence coach says it all, like Dave says, could be the best signings yet! Just need a motivation coach now and pipe and slippers for Radders
